Not knowing how much you paid for it, it's kinda hard to tell if you did got a good deal???
Depending on chambering, I've seen them mostly from> $1000-<$1200 new in GB.

I didn't know Remington was making a 5R Police model now, but after a quick Google search (thank you for providing the catalog number), the common price I'm seeing is $1,350-$1,731 for the 24" .308 model, like you got. Apparently MSRP is $1,731.00.

So yeah, I'd say you got a hell of a deal. Where at, if you don't mind me asking?

You should really enjoy the 5R rifling in that barrel. I have 2 of the actual "5R Milspec" models (stainless w/ the green/black stocks). One is a 10th Anniversary 24" .308 Win, the other a 26" .300 WinMag. The 5R Barrels seem to break-in easily, and are very smooth and easy to clean. It took my .308 Win over 200 rounds before it started to throw shots from copper fouling between cleanings one time. That gun also shoots .25-.50" groups on average with handloads. I hope you get the same performance out of yours.
